TIMING CHAIN
a. Install the crankshaft sprocket (1), the oil pump drive chain (2),
and the oil pump sprocket (3) at the same time.
• Install the crankshaft sprocket so that its invalid gear area (A)is toward the back of the engine.
• Install the oil pump sprocket so that its protrusion faces the front of engine.
NOTE:
There is no matching mark in the oil pump drive related parts.
b. Hold the top of the oil pump shaft using the socket (size: E8), and then tighten the oil pump sprocket nut.
c. Install oil pump drive chain tensioner (1). • Insert the body into the shaft (B) while inserting the spring intothe attaching hole (A) of cylinder block front surface.
• Check that the tension is applied to the oil pump drive chain
after installing.
2. Install timing chain:
• Install by aligning matching marks on each sprocket and tim-ing chain.
• If these matching marks are not aligned, rotate the camshaft
slightly to correct the position.
CAUTION:
• After the matching marks are aligned, keep them aligned by holding them.
• To avoid skipped teeth, do not rotate crankshaft and cam- shaft until front cover is installed.

• Secure crankshaft pulley with a suitable tool and tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
a. Apply new engine oil to thread and seat surfaces of crankshaft pulley bolt.
b. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
c. Put a paint mark (B) on crankshaft pulley, mating with any one of six easy to recognize angle marks (A) on crankshaft bolt flange
(1).
d. Turn another 60 degrees clockwise (angle tightening). • Check the tightening angle with movement of one angle mark.
10. Check that crankshaft turns smoothly by rotating by hand clockwise using suitable tool.
11. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, includi ng engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leaks.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there are no lea ks of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

2. Remove camshaft sprocket (EXH) (1).
CAUTION:
• Hold the camshaft hexagonal pa rt (A), and then secure the
camshaft.
• Do not rotate crankshaft and camshaft separately, so as not to contact valve with piston.
NOTE:
The timing chain with the front cover installed is not disengaged
from the crankshaft sprocket and it is not dropped into the front
cover. Therefore, the timing chain tension holding device is not
necessary.
3. Turn the camshaft sprocket (INT) to the most advanced position. CAUTION:
Installation and removal of the camshaft sprocket (INT) must be done in the most advanced posi-
tion. Make sure to follow the procedure exactly.
• The sprocket (C) and vane (camshaft coupling) (B) are
designed to spin and move wi thin the range of a certain
angle.
• With the engine stopped and the vane in the most
retarded angle, it will not sp in because it is locked to the
sprocket side by the internal lock pin (A).
• If the camshaft sprocket bolts are turned in the situation
described above, the lock pi n will become damaged and
cause malfunctions because of the increased horizontal
load (cutting force) on the lock pin.
• Put the camshaft sprocket (INT) in the most advanced position:
a. Remove camshaft bracket (No. 1) (1). NOTE:
Timing chain is present only for illustration purposes. Timing
chain is to be removed during removal procedure.
• Loosen the bolts in several steps, and then remove them.
b. Apply the following air pressure to the No. 1 journal oil hole (A) of camshaft (INT) (1) shown using an air gun.
• Apply the air pressure into the oil hole on the second groove
from the front of camshaft thrust (B).
• Proceed all the way through step “e” with the air pressure on.
• Attach the rubber nozzle narrowed to the top of the air gun to prevent air leaks from the oil hole (A). Securely apply the air
pressure to the oil hole.
WARNING:
Eye protection should be worn as needed.
CAUTION:
• There are other oil holes in the side gr ooves. Do not use the incorrect oil holes.
